Part Five

“You may go.I allow it,” the keeper said, trying to hide the vibrato in his voice.Tristan didn’t move, waiting for the trap to be sprung.This was too easy.

“Take her and go.”

Tristan didn’t move.

“Go!”The word was ripped from the back of the keeper’s throat.“Leave now, before I change my mind!Go!”He was in Tristan’s face now, snarling.Tristan stood, drawing himself to his full height and looking down on his enemy.After a tense moment, he picked up Ari’s body and walked out.

What happened?Am I dead?Oh my God, I’m dead, aren’t I?The second that Tristan left his prison her thoughts flowed in.

“No, love, it worked.You’re safe,” he whispered so that only she could hear.He didn’t even need to say it out loud, but it made her seem solid again.

What did he do to me?

“He broke your neck,” Tristan replied, shuddering at the memory.

Can you fix it?

“I can, but I don’t know how bad it’s broken.Therefore I don’t know how long it will take to heal, which puts your soul at risk.”

Can I help you?

“Be silent, and love, if this doesn’t work…”

Yes?

“I love you.I love you with everything I have, Ari, and I will do everything I can to make sure you survive,” he promised.“You have my word.”

He felt her smile.I love you too, Tristan.You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.With that she was quiet.

Tristan set to work on repairing her body.One of her vertebrae was shattered and two others were cracked.It wouldn’t be too difficult or time-consuming for him to fix.A half hour later, he was preparing for the soul transfer.Tristan hesitated, something that he shouldn’t have done.It would be so easy, keeping her inside him.She would be safe forever and they’d be together forever.He wouldn’t have to worry about her when they were apart because they never would be.As he thought this he felt her connection to her body grow weaker.

A story about the love between an immortal and a human. The chapters are exactly 500 words each, so that's why they're so short. Thanks for reading!And also, the endings of each chapter are weak. This I know because I had to make each one exactly 500 words, so...yeah.
